1887, Maggie. infant daughter Of 8. j. and Jen.
nie Patrick, aged ...onihs and 10 days.
She has left us. little Maggie,
To heaven by seraph angels horne,
While we. with feelings gloomy and sad.
Are left to journey on alone
Her smile. our hearts no more can cheer
In this dark vale of death and woe.
That radiant smile of innocence.
No more we witness here below.
Those halcyon dayswhen thou vert here.
Darling Maggie, now are past.
Lives, so full of hope and Joy.
Not many years or months may last.
AS when sunbeam lights the darkness
And then forever disappears
SO thou, dear one. didst come and go
To make more drear the coming years.
Too frail for tins cold world of ours.
Too tender for its chilly breath,
We see our wee. white blossom fall
BY thy relentless blade, U death!
AS when the flowers. In time of spring.
Their petals open to the sun.
So, fair and pure as the angels are.
Thy life, when taken, had just begun.
And now we lay thy little form
With fingers claspcd across thy breast.
Our hearts, the while, q bleeding
Down In the tomb awhile to rest.
How lonely now the parents hearth!
Our hearts, how sad Our tears are falling.
We meet no more, It's true ON earth;
But then in lieavcniHe'll meet thee, darling.
few more days Of labor and pain.
Wen meet the on the golden shore,
Where sin and death can never come;
Meet to part again no more.

After long sickness with finally a
severe attack of congestion of the lungs,
she died Feb. 9th, 1887. When asked:
Do you expect to inherit the happi-

perfectly at ease about that" She was
the last of four daughters, had lost one
brother also. She leaves three broth

children, to retain her in mem ory
Be We also ready"
We are mourning for our mother,
Though she's resting there;
Yes. she's through with worldly sorrow.
Done with worldly care.
Yet we often seem to see her.
Face I'LL bright and free;
See her as we Used to see her,
Babes about her knee.
Then again, we seem to see her,
Sorrowfu'ly bending low:
BY our sick couch humbly knceling,
Pressing kisses on our brow.
And we see her; All; (; we've seen her.
On bed Of great distress
Last we saw her calmly sleeping,
Face expressing happiness.

Ola Crsyeooeur's speech.

When tho aboriginies of America
saw the refinement of character, the
spirit of philanthropy which pos.
sessed the hearts of their white neigh
bors, their observing chieftain Creve-
cmur. OF the now extinct tribe of the
Missseais, is said to have addressed
his people in the following pathetic re-
marks:
''Do you not see the whites living
upon seeds, while we eat flesh2 That
flesh requires more than thirty moons
to grow up and is then often scarce.
Each OF the wonderful seeds they SOW
in the earth returns them one hundred
fold. The flesh on which we subsist
has four legs to escape from us while
we have but two to pursue and capture
1t. The grain remains where the
white men SOW it and grows. With
them winter is period OF rest; while
with US 1t is u period of laborious
hunting. For these reasons they have
SO many more children and live longer
than we do. ! say, therefore, unto
every one who will hear me, that be-
fore the cedars of our village shall have
died down with age. and the maple
trees of the valley have ceased to give
US sugar, the race of the little corn
(wheaU sewers will have exterminated
the race of the flesh eaters, provided
their huntsmen do not resolve TO be-
come sewers"
